It was a “kickoff” that had nothing to do with the hoopla surrounding last week’s Super Bowl. Instead, the Detroit Bar Barristers in cooperation with the 3rd Circuit Court in Wayne County hosted a 2017 Law Day Kickoff Fund-raiser February 2 at the Detroit Beer Co. Proceeds from the event will be earmarked to defray expenses for the May 10 School Partnership Program Law Day in Detroit, according to attorney Kim Yourchock, president of the Detroit Barristers. Students from more than 15 high schools in Detroit are expected to participate in Law Day activities, which are designed to heighten interest in legal careers. Robert Columbo Jr., chief judge of the 3rd Circuit Court (pictured center), was on hand for the Law Day Kickoff event, and was joined by Detroit Barristers (l-r) Tiffany Ellis, Sarah Gale-Barbantini, and Bryce Rucker.
